“That was the thing about French girls and German girls. There was not all this talking. You couldn't talk much and you did not need to talk. It was simple and you were friends. He thought about France and then he began to think about Germany. On the whole he had liked Germany better. He did not want to leave Germany. He did not want to come home. Still, he had come home. He sat on the front porch.” Why would Krebs not want to talk when he was in a war? Why would he not want to come home?

The Ice Cream Men Who would have thought that two ex-hippies with strong interests in social activism would end up starting one of the best-known ice cream companies in the country—Ben & Jerry’s. Perhaps it was meant to be. Ben Cohen (the “Ben” of Ben & Jerry’s) always had a fascination with ice cream. As a child, he made his own mixtures by smashing his favourite cookies and candies into his ice cream. However, it was not until his senior year in high school that he became an official “ice cream man,” happily driving his truck through neighbourhoods filled with kids eager to buy his ice cream pops. After high school, Ben tried college but it was not for him. He attended Colgate University for a year and a half before he dropped out to return to his real love: being an ice cream man. He tried college again, this time at Skidmore, where he studied pottery and jewellery making. In spite of his selection of courses, he still did not like it. In the meantime, Jerry Greenfield…

Mely Reyes didn't know what to do. After graduating from DLSUD in 1998, she had taken a job with major beer company, thinking she could pursue her in interests in sales. The beer company had a reputation for being like ‘’family’’ but it turned out that it was like no family she’d ever known. The sales and marketing director seemed to go out of his way to diminish the employee’s importance by making comments like ‘’if you want to leave, go ahead. I’ve got another 1,000 applicants just like you’’ She had spent her first year working for the company and was now trying to figure out whether to leave for another company, find a small one or change career together. ‘‘This is not why I got a business management degree for’’ she thought. Now, in the summer of 1999, she was facing a very tight job market and hadn’t been able to save a penny for a year. All she knew that she was miserable. What will be the impact to the company of the attitude of the sales and marketing director in dealing…
based on the concepts that define Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory, please match each cultural scenario to its corresponding cultural construct. Select either individualism vs collectivism, power distance or masculinity vs. femininity for each cultural scenario. A) In Malaysia, team members will not initiate any action, and they like to be guided and directed to complete a task. If a manager doesn't take charge, they may think that the task isn't important. B) If you open an office in Japan, you should recognize you are operating in a hierarchical, deferential and traditionally patriarchal society. Long hours are the norm, and this, in turn, can make it harder for female team members to gain advancement, due to family commitments. C) In Central American countries such as Panama and Guatemala, a marketing campaign that emphasizes benefits to the community would likely be understood and well received, as long as the people addressed feel part of the same group.
